A few odds and ends that were to good to pass up.
1) On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, just minutes before learning of the terrorist attacks on America, Democratic strategist James Carville was hoping for President Bush to fail, telling a group of Washington reporters: "I certainly hope he doesn't succeed."
Carville was joined by Democratic pollster Stanley Greenberg, who seemed encouraged by a survey he had just completed that revealed public misgivings about the newly minted president.
"We rush into these focus groups with these doubts that people have about him, and I'm wanting them to turn against him," Greenberg admitted.
The pollster added with a chuckle of disbelief: "They don't want him to fail. I mean, they think it matters if the president of the United States fails."
Minutes later, as news of the terrorist attacks reached the hotel conference room where the Democrats were having breakfast with the reporters, Carville announced: "Disregard everything we just said! This changes everything!"
The press followed Carville's orders, never reporting his or Greenberg's desire for Bush to fail. The omission was understandable at first, as reporters were consumed with chronicling the new war on terror. But months and even years later, the mainstream media chose to never resurrect those controversial sentiments, voiced by the Democratic Party's top strategists, that Bush should fail.

And nary a word was mention as the MSM covered it up and Carville has the ear of important pols, he ain't just some private citizen radio guy.
Different rules for different folks
2) "I am sick and tired of people who call you unpatriotic if you debate this administration’s policies. We are Americans and have the right to participate and debate any administration." Hillary Rodham Clinton
I guess this has changed since BHO. It's no longer patriotic to oppose or question an administration’s policies? Hillary claimed that is was patriotic to debate ANY administration’s policies. What happened?
I need to get the rule book that applies to these folks. :laugh:
And last but not least. What the heck happened to the no earmarks promise? This guy must think we are either stupid or he's just has so little respect for us, he's just giving us the bird and saying, you're opinions don't count, especially when it comes to spending your money and yep the Reps were just as bad, but BHO ran on on that promise and he's just becoming such a bold faced liar, vut then that makes for the perfect politician.
